It was early morning on the second day of a three-day show.  The smell of coffee was in the air and folks with their dogs were gathering around their designated rings for the start of a new day.  Cliff Steele and German Shorthaired Pointer, Scarlet, [GCH. Skypoint’s Our River Runs Free] were scheduled to be in the ring at 8:30.  While waiting to be called, they walked around the show hall together – Cliff chatting with friends and Scarlet checking out all of the toys and bones in the vendor booths!   “Hey Cliff…will you buy me a new toy?”
